PTZ Cameras

However this function can be achieved either through a Joy-Stick that controls the camera and can enable the person in-charge of monitoring station to track any suspicious person and or activity by any or all of the above three functions together.

There are some advanced versions of these PTZ Cameras that have built-in heat sensors and audio capabilities as well. These cameras can automatically track any suspicious movement/s of person/s and/or goods by seeking changes in emitted heat in a given sector being watched. As the suspect moves from one spot to the other, the heat emitted by that person's body also moves with him. In turn the PTZ Camera follows the heat and can continue to record the movement as well as any noise created by the subject.

The phrase PTZ Camera has two uses within the video security and surveillance products industries.

First, PTZ is an acronym for Pan, Tilt, and Zoom and may refer merely to features of specific surveillance cameras.

By activating only during times of change, systems can notify human monitors and minimize storage requirements

In the March 2009 edition of "Security Products" magazine, Keith Jentoft notes the continuing problems organizations have with outdoor PTZ cameras during thunderstorms. Despite continuing improvements in PTZ software, problems with continual activation during thunderstorms have led some organizations to completely disable these types of cameras during the duration of thunderstorms. This translates to continuing challenges in trying to monitor and protect facilities from crime and terrorism during inclement weather.
